Blessed Are the Pure in Heart!

The Pharisees wanted to be SEEN as pure and holy on the outside; (in the eyes of men) but all the while, their hearts were full of sin and wickedness. It didn't matter at all what God saw in them! And HE IS THE SEARCHER OF HEARTS! Our Beatitude DOESN'T say, blessed are the OUTWARDLY pure and clean, but rather, blessed are the pure IN HEART! God desires truth in the inward parts! That's what the Lord Jesus focused on; the hearts of His hearers: Matthew 15:7-9, Ezekiel 33:30-33
